TODAY, DO A 10 MINUTE STRETCHING ROUTINE. Remember that breathing is a key part of stretching. As you move into a position to stretch, take a deep breath, then exhale slowly as you stretch. When you get to your flexibility limit, inhale again, then exhale as you hold that position, focusing on relaxing the muscles. The breath should come from deep in your belly, not high in your chest. As you become a better breather, apply the same technique to your other exercise sessions.
